Dear Breakup Girl,

I am a perfectly attractive, intelligent, successful, and talented young lady in my early 20s. I am also incredibly shy and so, I never got into the whole dating/relationship scene (yes, I am for real!). So I have a couple of questions: 1) Is it too late for me now, since everyone else has at least 7 or 8 years on me of experience? And does my delay mean there is something inherently wrong with me? 2) How do I go about it now that I'm out of the high school/college scene and working? I've just moved to a new city and know absolutely no one! and 3) is it even worth it after all the horror stories I keep hearing in your advice columns? These are three mysteries of life I've been pondering for a while now and can't seem to find anyone else who can answer them.

Dear Basket Case,

You do realize, of course, that the people with all this "experience" are the same people with all the "horror stories."

You'll be fine.

Love,
Breakup Girl
